Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Even the noble Queen of France found it hard to remain calm at this moment. The slogan shouted by the people outside was so terrifying that even the legs under the Queen's skirt began to tremble.

Duke of oculi bridge, Montaubon, was barely able to hold on as she shouted towards the palace attendants outside, "What happened? Where was the guard officer on duty? "Let him come see me …"

Prime Minister Ao Liwei's face was already pale white, seeing that there were more and more people gathering in Tuileries' garden, at the moment, it was already close to ten thousand, and the scale was still growing like a snowball.

"My God, we can't let them continue this way. Duke, I suggest that the military dispatch them immediately. The garden must be sealed up right now!"

Representative Thiers was speechless. "Ao Liwei, what do you mean by that? From the moment the Tuileries' garden was built, the people had never been forbidden from visiting. Are you going to go against the rules set up by Napoleon? "

The reason why Napoleon expanded his Tuileries' Palace back then instead of choosing to expand his Louvre was to make his empire different from the decayed The French Empire of the past.

He wanted to let the people know that he was different from the previous emperor and that he was a relative of the people!

Therefore, the Tuileries' garden was open to the public on a regular basis. The citizens of Paris could enjoy the beautiful scenery here and take a rest!

This was much stronger than other ancient empires' monarchs. The commoners were able to get close to the emperor, so naturally, the distance between the two sides was shortened.

However, this old rule had become a headache for the Royal Family. This was because for the past few years, the people had often come to the park to demonstrate and clamor for the Emperor to carry out reforms!

As a result, there were always officials in the imperial court who asked the Emperor to change the rules, but Napoleon III, in order to show his respect for his uncle, had always ignored them.

Today, Thiers took out the old rules and started firing at Ao Liwei. "Ao Liwei, you are the prime minister of the people, do you really need the mouths of the people of Dusai to speak to you now?"

"You actually want the military to intervene. Do you want another bloodshed?" I want to impeach you, you are not fit to be the Empire's Prime Minister! "

Before Ao Liwei could retort, the conference room's door was pushed open, and the guards who were on duty today ran in anxiously, holding a electric newspaper in their hands.

He said with a face full of panic and sweat, "Empress …" His Majesty had sent an urgent message from the Mace! We... We really failed! "

"Walter and the Spicillin's plateau have all lost! Now that the enemy has entered our northeast region, the flames of war have already reached our hometown! "

"AHH!" The empress cried out miserably and nearly fainted. Thankfully, Montaubon's hands were quick enough to hold her!

"Queen!" Queen... Bring me the smelling salts! "

Smelling salt was something that only a few people in the 21st century knew about. It was something that had existed since the time of the Ancient Rome, but it was the most popular thing in Victorian Europe.

Smell salts were also known as staghorn wine, a drug made of ammonium carbonate and spices, in delicate crystal bottles.

Once this powder enters the nasal cavity and comes into contact with the nasal mucosa, it will produce ammonia. People who have learned chemistry know that ammonia is very irritating and will wake up immediately after a little smelling salt

In the nineteenth century, smelling salt was the standard standard for European noblewomen, because at that time, it was widely accepted that a lady should be sensitive and timid, fainting whenever she was met with a little fear.

In order to satisfy this mainstream mentality, many women had to act like they were small even if they were brazen, often smelling salt by their side. Who knows, a rabbit jumping out of the road might scare them and then they would need a gentleman to carry them and scatter the salt.

It didn't matter if it was real or fake, this sort of game was really popular at the time!

Another important reason was that skintight clothing was popular in Europe at that time, and the waist area was so thin that it even affected one's breathing. Many women fainted because they couldn't breathe, so smelling salt was a must.

Today, the empress was so frightened that she fainted. It took Montaubon a full two blows of scented salt to stimulate the empress to awaken from her stupor!

"My God! What's wrong with me? Was I dreaming? I had a nightmare... "

Montauban said with a sad face, "The empress..." "This is not a dream. Just now, His Majesty really sent us a telegram. We lost two battles …"

"But don't worry, it's just a small battle. Our main force didn't suffer any damage!"

Empress Ou Renni struggled to stand up, angrily pointed at the window and said, "Then what is going on? Why did these damn bastards know about this earlier than me? "

"Since when have the commoners been more well-informed than the government?"

Speaking of which, the Queen suddenly glared at Representative Thiers and asked, "Did you already know that? Answer me, did you come to force the palace after finding out about this news? "

Thiers fearlessly sighed and said, "Empress … "I received the news at 5 in the morning this morning, but I never thought that the imperial palace would only get the news now …"

"I don't know much about this, but the citizens of Paris started to spread the news at 5 o'clock this morning. I thought it was fake …"

"I didn't expect …" "I never thought that it would actually be true …"

Of course it was true. The number of Prussian spy in Paris right now was something that Bismark could not even count up. The two victories at the border made these spies extremely happy.

They began to walk through the night to exaggerate the results of the war and to arouse public opinion. What they wanted was for the French people to put pressure on the government and disrupt the rhythm of the French army.

Xiao Letian had even arrogantly said before, "If we want to win this battle, we have to let the people of France control the government, let the French officers consider politics, and let the French civil officials consider changing dynasties …"

"Only by making them panic will we have a chance at a wild victory!"

That's right, it was like this. If they wanted the France to lose a war, then they would have to let those unskilled professionals point fingers and point fingers at them. Only then would France be able to cause internal strife.

The romantic Frenchman had been fooled, but not exactly, this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy that a Frenchman, even if he knew it was Prussia, would have to take to the streets.

The French, who had been baptized by the Revolution, cared too much about politics, too much about parades and too much about revolution.

The Tuileries' garden's earth-shattering roar, the news of the failure at the front caused these citizens to completely lose control!
